Continuing to Explore other Spoken Word Texts

Hello Poets

We finish up our Spoken Word unit this week.  WE continue to discuss and explore if this is a worthwhile medium for digesting and learning language.  We are reading additional articles and viewing additional texts.  Be present each day.  You will get to express your viewpoints with textual evidence in multiple ways - in class, during the Socratic, and when you write your Final.

1. Prompt - Phil Kaye - "Surplus"
